The late preacher Howard Thurman, a mentor to Martin Luther King Jr., famously wrote,  

"There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the only true guide you will ever have. And if you cannot hear it, you will all of your life spend your days on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls." 

This observation captures my aim. My goal is that we both, you and I will grow in freedom. Free to become the most authentic human beings we each can be. 

So to help achieve this aim, what follows are short reflections. They are intended to be spiritual hors d oeuvres, bite sized morsels to simply whet your soul’s appetite. My hope is that what you will hear will invite you into your own self-reflection and discovery.
